Abstract

The study is about college students outlook on marriage and their will to give birth. We will examine their value on marriage and childbirth, and thereby attempt to provide baseline data to make an alternative plan which the proper birthrate can be kept and which the low birthrate problem can be solved. Thus, I conducted a survey of 500 single men & women college students who are attending universities in Jeonbuk province area on college students outlook on marriage and their will to give birth Firstly, as college students take marriage, it is a complementary relation. College students opinion about childbirth was that it is an obstacle to their social status or self development and that they should postpone giving birth or do a little hard thinking about it when there is no one to take care of their child. Secondly, for the outlook on marriage depending on general background variables, in case of men, it turned out that there is a statistically significant difference in matters concerning whether or not they fulfilled their military duty and religion. The will to give birth, which depends on general background variables, turned out to have statistically significant difference in gender and the number of brothers and sisters. Thirdly, college students who hold an optimistic view of marriage in a correlation between the view of marriage and the will to give birth showed a strong will to give birth.

Abstract

This study is to discover various patterns of organizing family caregiving for the elderly. The interaction between normative dimension and exchange dimension in sharing the caregiving burden among adult children creates various patterns of organizing family caregiving. The interview on 16 primary caregiving females, daughters-in-law of dependent parents, created data, which then was analyzed by a series of procedures This study is to discover various patterns of organizing family caregiving for the elderly. The interaction between normative dimension and exchange dimension in sharing the caregiving burden among adult children creates various patterns of organizing family caregiving. The interview on 16 primary caregiving females, daughters-in-law of dependent parents, created data, which then was analyzed by a series of procedures theoretically specified by Strauss & Corbin(1998). The result shows that the crucial factor in organizing the family caregiving for the elderly is ``subjective fairness``. The extent of parent``s dependency,`` ``expectation and wish of parents,`` ``sibling order, ``and ``caregiving duty according to traditional norm constituted the cause and effect conditions. ‘Husband family’s value and attitudes to care for the elderly, ‘succession to a house’ and ‘lack of financial security’ constituted the contextual conditions. What emerges as interventional conditions was ‘the essence of consensus among family members’ and ‘social support’. For action/interaction strategy, there were ``seeking solutions,`` ‘accepting reluctantly family member``s proposal,`` and ’opposing to the proposal other family members offer.`` The results derived from this study were 1) ‘the real consensus among family members constructed a stable family support system,’ 2) ‘a reluctant consent to the elderly care simply accepted the situation, and 3) ``the failure to reach a reasonable consensus made a persistent backlash among family members. Based upon these results, the following four patterns were identified; 1) a stable consensus type, 2) a reluctant consent type among poor households, 3) a reluctant consent type among non-poor households, 4) the breakdown of consensus type among non-poor households. This study is to expand research direction by situating earlier studies in historical dimension. The various patterns identified in this study, combined with current research findings mostly focusing on the extent of individual burden, contributes substantially to the development of knowledge in the area of family caregiving.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to bring out the daily lives of young adults who are experiencing NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) situation. Daily time use pattern of young adults who traverse through different social role status, like student, employed individuals as well as who are in NEET status, were compared in this study. In addition, this study looked closer into the time use pattern within the NEET group in order to address the attributes of socio-demographic factors on such status. Employing the 5,266 diaries of young adults (age range 19-29, female: 54.24%) from the original data of 2009 KTUS (Korea Time Use Survey), results showed that NEET group spend most of their time on nonworking activities, or sleep; their daily schedule was unstructured and mostly filled with free time activities. Within the NEET group, the differential in time use pattern was found in terms of age and gender; mid 20’s spent great deal of time on education, work searching and social meetings, while early 20’s and late 20’s tend to spend their time on computer game and TV watching. The female young adult was more apt to use their time on unpaid housework, like house chores or carework, compared to male counterpart. Those who experience as NEET in their 20’s showed higher education level. However, those who remain as NEET in their late 20’s were less likely drag out their family financial resources compared to those who are in employment or in education.

Particularly, to find out the effect of college students’ dating relationship, marriage perspectives and marriage images on expected age of marriage, a survey was conducted on 934 students from 4 colleges in Seoul and Chungnam. Then, by using SPSS Window 18.0 Program, this study conducted a hierarchical regression analysis while calculating the average and standard deviation.. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; Firstly, the expected age of marriage was found to be 30.7 years old in male students, which was higher than 29.5 years old in female ones. Secondly, the experience of dating relationship and the necessity of marriage were found to be higher in male college students than in female ones, and in marriage perspectives, male students showed a higher exclusive marriage perspective, while female ones showed a higher conservative-instrumental marriage perspective, and male students showed a higher level of marriage images than female ones. Thirdly, in influences on the expected age of marriage, both male and female students showed a higher expected age of marriage as they found marriage more necessary and had better marriage images. Particularly, it was found that the expected age of marriage became higher as male students had lower stable-romantic marriage perspective and exclusive marriage perspective, while female ones had a lower stable-romantic perspective.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was understanding of how never-married women in their 40s and 50s recognized their single lives, their anticipated elderly lives, and policies. For this goal, I used a qualitative method. The participants were 13 single women in their 40s and 50s who had never been married. In-depth interviews were carried out, focusing on never-married women’s views about their single lives, their future elderly lives, and policies. The result of theme analysis indicated that the participants considered their single lives as a comfort and free lifestyle after their 40s. However they still felt uncomfortable other``s curious concerns. In particular they experienced unfair treatment in everyday lives. Also, because they though that spouse and children will be important supporters for elderly lives, they recognized their future lives as unsecure. However this kind of unsecure feeling on their elderly lives was reduced by housing ownership or job stability. In addition, they though that they will care themselves until 70 or 75 years old. After that, they wanted supports from the government. Finally, because they did not receive any kinds of benefit from the government, they had indifference to policies. What was worse, they felt that policies, especially tax collection, were unfairness to singles than other married couples with children. They concerned only the life-support policies for elders who live alone.
